A few questions from a naive girl :o:

I live with my partner and sadly I've forgotten what I used to do... But then we were in an LDR.

Hey! Thanks for answering anyway

Hey :-)

I was good friends with my boyfriend beforehand, and it didn't change too much, just much more open with one another and of course, there was the intimacy also.
To start with we weren't in contact 24/7, or with each other all the time, we went out with our friends too and saw each other when we had the chance. I was also working at weekends, so got to see him rarely aside from my lunch hour.

Now we've both moved to different universities, we are in a LDR and are in contact every day, and text each other around lectures. We may have a phone call in the evening or skype/msn if not out.
When at home we make the most of seeing each other as well as seeing friends&family.

I think it depends on your personality though, some people like more space than others, so you can't really have a "norm"
You just need to go with the flow and try not to suffocate one another.

I've been with mine for almost 4years now and it's going pretty well
Good luck to you :-)

Yeah it was a crappy response I think we used to have a little chat daily on MSN though, even if it was just to check if he's okay, and weekly phonecalls (because they were expensive). But it's so natural to have him around the house now, there's no effort involved anymore

Mathematics. What a name!
Just go out with the person your interested in simple really.

i usually hear from him at least once a day, but not neccessarily a full blown conversation. See each other quite often, never usually more than two days apart. but of course it's all what you're happy with at the end of the day.

Thanks, but that wasn't really my question at all!

Whops here is my answer
talk every day
Why need help finding someone im sure you can do it wait for the right time

I'm really new to relationships and I'm not sure what's the norm. I get that every couple has their norm, but surely there must be a general opinion.

Do you text/call each other everyday? To catch up on each others day? To just say goodnight? If contact is an everyday thing, do you have real lengthy chats? Is it okay to go a day without any contact at all?

How often do you have one on one time together (if you're not long distance, that is), surely it can't be daily because uni work is a priority too? If, say, you're at the same uni, is it okay to spend time alone together maybe once or twice a week or something? How often do you still go on dates?

Over holidays, like easter or summer, how often do you see each other (presuming you haven't gone on vacation)?

I know my questions are really silly and I probably should know the answers but I'm new to all of this, despite being 19 and in uni! I'm a girl btw.

For those who have gone from bestfriends to boyfriend/girlfriend, was their a noticeable change in your relationship? Or was it pretty much the same except you were more intimate?

We see each other about 4 times a week probably, we live just down the road from each other so sometimes it's more often as he comes round for dinner/walk the dogs/whatever. And we're in contact every day, a few texts and a phone call usually if we don't see each other. BUT this isn't necessarily the norm and there are plenty of couples who will go a day or two without talking (probably though I don't think I know any ) and it's all about the individual people.

With my ex we were best friends beforehand, not much changed especially since we were pretty cuddly before we were dating, but now we've broken up (2 years on) our friendship is pretty much non-existent, especially as the breakup turned pretty sour. I also prefer being in a relationship where we got to know each other throughout the beginning of the relationship rather than knowing everything already, but both have their pros and cons.

Oh noo, this sounds really sad though!
